Scytle Songs.

Stalwart mowers, brown and 1.-the,
Over summer meads abloom,
WELDING fast the whispering scythe,
Where is all the old perfumesi
Breathes 1t yet In tender gloom,
Soft through hades' twilight airl
Where hath summertide her tombl
Hush, the scythe says where, alb wherei
Comes the long blade cleaning cold
Where the garden ground is spread
RAYS OF pearl on crowns OF gold,
Dainty daisies, white and red
Danes that DER them once would tread,
Damsels blithc and debonair,
Where is all your sweetness fledi
Hush, the scythe says, where, alb wherei
Time, who takst and giv'st again
All things bitter, some things sweet,
Must we follow all in vain
Follow still those phantom feeti
Is there not some grass grown street,
Some old, yew begirt parterre,
Where our dreams and we may meett
Hush, the scythe says, where, ah wherei

(vARIATIoN.)
Mowers, weary, and brown, and blithe,
What is the word methinks We know,
Endless over-word that the scythe
Sings 10 the blades OF grass belowf
scythes that swing in the grass and clover,
Something, still, they say as they pass;
What is the word, that over and over,
Sings the scythe to the flowers and grass'
Hush. ali hush, the scythes are saying,
Hush, and heed not, and fall asleep,
Hush, they say to the grasses swaying,
Hush, they sing to the clover deep;
Hush-'tis the lullaby Time is singing
Hush, and heed not, for all things pass
Hush, all hushl and the scythes are
swinging
Over the clover, over the grassi

came TO the Archbishop by mail some
time last week. This letter was APP
parently signed with the real name of
the writer, and it warned the Arch
bishop against threatened dangers. II
particularly advised him TO take extra
precautions when he went out driving,
and TO have every box or package which
might come TO the palace az a present
for him examined carefully and It's con
tents tested before he used them.
This box was n small one, and was
delivered nj the main entrance to the
butler. He did not like the way in
which il was done up, and he took it to
the servants hall. There 1t was well
soaked in water for fear it might con-
tain dynamite or some other explosive.
Then it was opened, and, besides a
yeIy fine assortment of fresh candies,
a card was found inscribed rs follows {:
"Wnh compliments of DIR. Helmuth. "
Dr. William Tod Helmuth and his
son-the only Drs. Helmuth in New
York-who live at No. 299 Madison
avenue. cornero Of east Forty-first street,
were communicated with, but they
knew nothing about any such box, and
had sent the Archbishop no present.
7 his made the residents of the palace
almost certain that something was
wrong. So the candies were sent to
a chemist for analysis, which Is not yet
finished
The letter is believed TO afford clue
to the sender of the box, and if the
chemists analysis should disclose tue
presence of poison measures will be
taken for it's discovery. The signature
is not disclosed as yet for prudential
reasons. Archbishop Corrigan never
concerns himself with threatening let
ters, and even now laughs at this. His
suit is far more agitated over the Incl
dent than himself.

DASvILLT, Va, January 2S, 1887.
There is no question that business in
Danvillc is much better than il has been
for some time past. The late warm,
wet spell gave tobacco-growers an OPP
portunity to strip their tobacco, and
much OF the weed has found its way 10
market this week. Prices are decided
" sitter, especially on old tobaccos.
The manufacturers are in much better
spirits, and report "A good demand for
the manufactured article abroad. Ship
monts since the LIST OF January have
been very satisfactory, and most of the
factories will start up again after the
LIST of February. There is Ii better
t, cling generally among businessmen.
The sale Of seats for the opening per-
Torrance at the new Academy OF Music
began to-day, and nearly all the down
stairs seats were readily taken. The
Academy is beauty, and would reflect
credit on any town. The work is
nearly all done, and the house will be
in readiness for the opening perform
ancc on Tuesday night Several people
from other cities and towns have en-
gagged seats.
MIR. W. II. Townes, one of our most

TO WIPE OUT THE Blue LAWS.
BOstOu's Council Grappies with Ghe
Ghost of the Puritan.

A Boston special says: The Boston
City Council has taken the matter of
Sunday blue laws in hand, and It's Com
mittee on the Judiciary has been inves-
tigating the subject. The result of
their researches presented to the Coun-
eli this evening shows to what
Il startling condition of Puritanical
sobriety the Bostonian would be
reduced were the existing laws
rigidly enforced. 70 conform more
nearly to the demands of the
present time the committee presents
an abstract of law to he presented to
the Legislature for enactment, the fun
damental principle OF winch is that
local restrictions shall be established
by city ordinance or by law, so as to
satisfy the moral standard OF each COM
munity for itself. In other words, it
is proposed that the city Of Boston
shall decide for itself just what consti-
tutes proper observance Of Sunday
within its borders.
The bill provides that each city or
town shall define the employments that
may be engaged in on Sunday, debar-
ring, however, theatrical amusements,
sports, or any employment that shall
disturb religious assemblages. The rail
road commissioners shall regulate the
running of trains. Jews shall be per
mitted to carry on trade within their
own dwellings or shops; but liquor-sell-
ing, gaming, and kindred employments
shall still be penal offences, and punish
able by fines double that provided for
IKE offences on other days of the
week

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
BLACKSTONE, January %, 1881.
Thinking it will bc of interest TO
some of your readers 10 know some
thingof the thriving town of Blackstone,
I will write Il short article, trusting You
will give 1t place in your valuable col
umns. Some OF your readers will not
know the place by It's new name, and
FOR their information | viii state il IS
the town long known rs Blacks and
Whites. Tradition informs rs that one
Of the first settlers bore the name Of
Swat Tin English Black. and one the
name of White 4; hence Il took the
name Of Blacks and Whites.
About ten years ago an effort was
made to change thOname to BcllcfOntc.
The pOst-Oiiice was changed, but the
Norfolk and Western railroad officials
could not he prevailed on to change the
depot, so after several wears the post
Office was changed back 70 Blacks and
Whites. Repeated efforts to change
the name were made, but to no pur-
pose, until several months ago, when
We succeeded in getting it changed to
Blackstone. For n number OF years
there was scarcely anything hcre except
Il tavern and one or two stores about
twelve years ago the placc made a start,
and without any great boom there
has been steady, healthy growth ever
since. Now We have twenty-five stores,
one large fcrtilizer-manufactory. one
bark and sunac-factory, one grist-mill,
one tohacco-tactory, three tobacco
warehouses. one bank, three hotels. two
livery-stablos, three churches, and a
number of repIising tobacco-houscs,
shops, &c. The population is estimated
at l,CC0.
am informed that rlore freight bust
ness is done here than at any point be
tween Petersburg and Lynchburg. 5.

GIFT OF POISONED CANDY.

bishop.

There has been much excitement at
the Archiepiscopal Palace, Fiftieth

week on account of the reception there
last Monday of mysterious box con-
tanning n fine assortment OF French
candies, which are believed to be poi
soned. The Archbishop, like all popu-
lar prelates and priests OF the Catholic
Church, is accustomed TO receiving pres
sents from all parts of the world. Du-
ring a single week he had received silk
from Pekin and precious stones from
the Cape of Good Hope.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Please answer one question for me-:
If your neighbor's yard has been filed
up four or five feet above the level of
yours for its improvement, ought he to
hold up his embankment or call on you
to help him hold it up? IGXoRANCE.
1t is every mans duty so to use his
own property as not to iniure his neigh
boris. Your neighbor has no right to
call upon you to help to build a sustain
ing wall under the circumstances you
name.
